DEDICATION To Dennis, who nurtured me through this process from seed to flower with humor, intuition, and love. You’re the man. This book is also for anyone who has died, been imprisoned, or persecuted because of a sacred plant. I wrote much of it on my laptop, sitting on a sofa that I bought on Craigslist from a mom whose son was tasered to death near his illegal cannabis growing outside of Boulder, Colorado, in 2007—just as medical marijuana was blossoming into a legitimate business. There’s no justice in a town, in a world, when I can sink into that sofa and write about a plant—a vegetable—that cost Ryan Wilson his life.
